gloria, how damaging was this debate to president obama last night? >> i think we have to let the polls come in. and we'll let the voters decide. but i think you saw from the way the president was behaving on the stump this morning that even he knows that this was a pretty damaging debate for him. look, mitt romney showed up as somebody who was reasonable, as somebody who criticized the president while being respectful of the president. and as somebody those independent voters, those undecided voters, those persuadable voters could take a look at and say, you know, i could see him as a plausible president. just by being there mitt romney was elevated to the level of the president. and he effectively i would have to say took charge of the debate. and the president just sort of did not really push him or force him or challenge him the way we just saw on the stump right now. >> i was pretty surprised by that myself. >> yeah. >> so what's the major lessons the president should be learning from his performance last night? >> well, i think the lesson is tha

bill o'reilly on the debate. >> barack obama is a good debater, but the mistake he made last night was coming off as a boring college professor, he droned on and on about people he met in kalamazoo or someplace, instead of making dramatic points, the president me an dered, and i wouldn't believe that mr. obama didn't even bring up his 47% remark. what happened to that? >> he got word that mitt romney was going to bring it up during the debate and completely reverse himself. >> stephanie: yeah. rush limbaugh. >> obama didn't lose because he didn't show up. he did not lose because of the altitude or moderator. he lost because his ideas don't cut it. >> stephanie: really? was that him calling -- obama a pill popper.
